I would basically need to create my own subfolder to compile my character data. I think I follow you. Thanks for the info.

Scrivener is flexible in that it lets you create new folders and notes in the sidebar, similar to the research folder. It seems to me that you could use that to track specific notes for characters and settings. Hi Jordan,

Just curious - I was under the impression that Scrivener could help keep track of characters... is this so? If not, what method have you seen used to keep track of characters and settings via scrivener? Thanks! Thanks for the info!

I think that, unless you really want the timeline, Scrivener could probably replicate most of the features of Storymill for you. They both have a trial, so you could at least compare them head to head for your own purposes. Thanks for the comment.

I like what a read about both and like the exclusive feature it one has, the shaping and organizing the elements of a story with one and the ability to research, organize and collect information. Still am unsure of which to buy since both have features I desire but not in the same package. Too bad there isn’t one that combines the two.

I went with Scrivener for a novel. The features I liked were the story board (called the cork-board) and the ability to write small chunks that were out-of-sequence, but saved in a highly organized manner.

I'm not aware of any software dedicated to graphic novels, but I would be that Mariner Software, the makers of StoryMill would be a good place to start. They have several products devoted to specialized content creation. Jennifer,
